What owners wrote
Brakes failed. The breaks began squeaking then they failed when trying to stop at a red light. Slid into the intersection and caused an accident. This car saved my wife's life with the side impact airbags but also caused the wreck. The cars fluids are serviced regularly and had all fluids, the car just failed to stop. *nlm

With that been the manger and on going problems I have had an accident due to brake failure. I also notice that the steering wheel is always vibrating. *nlm
